Yes. On Christmas Day 800 AD, Charlemagne was crowned Emperor of the Romans by Pope Leo III following his conquest of Italy, thereby becoming the first Emperor of the western Roman Empire since Romulus Augustulus who was deposed in 476 AD.
The official title of the Holy Roman Emperor was August Emperor of the Romans (Romanorum Imperator Augustus). When Charlemagne was crowned in 800, he was styled as "most serene Augustus, crowned by God, great and pacific emperor, governing the Roman Empire," thus constituting the elements of "Holy" and "Roman" in the imperial title. The word Holy was never used as part of the title in official documents.
The first German emperor to carry the title Holy Roman Emperor was Otto the Great (912-973). Under his leadership, the former Carolingian kingdom of East Francia became the Holy Roman Empire.

There was a count in northern Italy named Berengar of Ivrea, who declared himself king. In about 860, Berengar invaded the Papal States, which caused Pope John XII to appeal to Otto, who was King of Germany and had already taken the title King of Lombardy. Otto helped the pope, who crowned him emperor of the Holy Roman Empire in return.
As it happens, though Pope John XII and Otto I were pledged to support each other, they almost immediately became enemies. The pope entered into multiple conspiracies to depose Otto, and Otto attempted, with somewhat more success, to depose the pope.

There is some disagreement over exactly who was the first Holy Roman Emperor, some saying Charlemagne, but it seems the majority say Otto I. There is also some disagreement about the title. Charlemagne was crowned Emperor of the Romans, as was Otto I; but we really do not know whether this was a rather silly way of trying to assert authority over the Byzantine Empire, which was called the Roman Empire at the time, or a way of trying to resurrect the Roman Empire of the West. However it happened, the idea of crowning Charlemagne as emperor appears to have been one of Pope Leo III, who left no record of what his thoughts were at the time.
